Suddenly but peacefully on 4th june, Cecil (Cec) died in sunderland royal hospital at the age of
76.
He leaves behind his devoted wife Mary, a daughter Sandra and a son David.
He is also granda to Michael, me (Anne-Marie), David, Leanne, Jack Leanne and Danny, and
great-granda to Bethany and Jayden.
He was a very caring and loving man, and will be sadly missed by all who new him.
You were a very big part of my life, and i cant remember a time when you weren't there for me.
You were the best granda in the world, and im going to miss you every second of every day. I just
cant believe you're gone. A lot of people don't realise what you meant to me, maybe not even you,
because in my eyes you weren't just a granda. You were there without an agenda no matter what, and
provided me with more love, security, and support than i could have ever asked for. I can still
remember running down the path everyday to be picked up in your arms when i was younger and you were
coming in from work, you never failed to make me feel safe and special with a big cuddle.
I just wish i could have returned the favour when you needed me. I wanted to come and see you more,
but it was just too hard too see you there in pain, and my biggest regret is that when i left the
hospital that day you were sleeping, so i never got the chance to give you that cuddle and say
goodbye.
So this is my goodbye to you, and i just hope you know how much i love you, untill the day we meet
again.
R.I.P granda, your not suffering anymore.
love you always Anne-Marie

"You cannot see or touch me, but I`m standing next to you.
Your tears can only hurt me, your sadness makes me blue.
be brave and show a smiling face,
let not your grief show through,
I love you from a different place,
Yet I`m standing next to you."
a special rose for a special grandaxx

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD
TODAY IS VERY HARD FOR ME,
I WISH THAT YOU WERE HERE,
TO WISH YOU A HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
INSTEAD ALL I HAVE IS TEARS.
I AM SENDING YOU AN ANGEL TO MEET YOU UP ABOVE,
AND WITH HER SHE IS BRINGING MY ETERNAL LOVE,
LET HER PUT HER ARMS AROUND YOU AND HOLD YOU VERY NEAR,
LET HER TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU AND HOLD YOUR MEMORIES DEAR.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD,MISS YOU LOADS.A MILLION KISSES FOR YOU. XXXXXX SANDRA
I FEEL A WARMTH AROUND ME
LIKE YOUR PRESENCE IS SO NEAR
AND I CLOSE MY EYES TO VISUALISE
YOUR FACE WHEN YOU WERE HERE
I ENDURE THE TIMES WE SPENT TOGETHER
AND THEY ARE LOCKED INSIDE MY HEART
FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE THOSE MEMORIES
WE WILL NEVER BE APART
EVEN THOUGH WE CANNOT SPEAK NO MORE
MY VOICE IS ALWAYS THERE
BECAUSE EVERY NIGHT BEFORE I SLEEP
I HAVE YOU IN MY PRAYERS.
love and miss you always granda xx
I need to say goodbye although you're with me.
I stand beside your grave, yet you are here.
I miss you terribly and hope you miss me,
But when I turn to you, you're always near.
I talk to you as though you lived within me,
Not changed but simply moved in from outside.
I know each day you must a little leave me,
But here, as always, you must be my guide.
You were and are and will be, just as ever,
In many minds and hearts, not only mine.
No physical event can such love sever;
Death is a dimension, not a line.
And so goodbye does not mean you are gone:
So long as I still love you, you live on.
No farewell words were spoken,
no time to say goodbye, you were
gone before we knew it, and only
God knows why.
Miss you loads granda xx
Thinking of you
I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday and days before that too,
I think of you in silence I often speak your name
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part
God has you in His keeping I have you in my heart.
SAFELY HOME
I am home in Heaven dear ones,
Oh! so happy and so bright,
There is perfect joy and beauty,
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed,
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly,
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus' love illumined,
Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came himself to meet me,
In that way so hard to tread,
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread.
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still,
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust Our Father's will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand,
Do it now while life remaineth,
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When the work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home,
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come.
For Mary and David with love x
I stood by your bed last night;
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying you found it hard to sleep.
I spoke to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
'It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here.'
I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached to me.
I was with you at the shops today; your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I flew with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently landed on you; I smiled and said, 'it's me.'
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, 'I never went away.'
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say 'good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning.'
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll fly across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you,
there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...
then come home to be with me.

A Angel prayed
An angel prayed for me today
I know this to be true..
She sent a pray into the wind to
Hasten the destination,
For my heart was burden down
So low,
With many troubles of this world,
None of an earthly gain..
An angel prayed for me today
This I know to be true,
I felt such serenity as the wind
Softly kiss my cheek..
An angel asked our father today
To lighten such heavy load..
Than, our father smiled at me and
Said,
Your guardian angel prayed with
You to make your days much easier,
An angel prayed for me today
For this I know is true..
Our father sent my guardian angel
And made my troubles descend
From me..
So I know an angel prayed for me
Today,
For our father said this to be true
